azi Access has launched
the first 30 t Magni HTH
30.12 telehandler into its
rental fleet, the biggest
machine in its ranks.
Having made its debut in South Africa in
2013 through Eazi Access’ sister company,
Eazi Sales & Service, the authorised sales
distributor of the Magni range in southern
Africa, the machine is designed for heavy
industry and mining sectors.
John Maddern, commercial manager at
Eazi Access, tells
Capital Equipment News
that the machine was put through its paces at
several mines in South Africa, demonstrating
its capabilities in a range of applications.
It was at a Mpumalanga mine where it
was demonstrated with Magni’s innovative
Cylinder Clamp attachment used to remove
and fit cylinders on gigantic face shovels.
While this attachment already existed in the
Magni product offering, this was the first
time it was put to work at a job site.
The Cylinder Clamp has a capacity of 11 t,
opening measurements of 250 to 620 mm,
clamp rotation of 344°, cylinder rotation of
± 30°, a tilting angle of 90° and longitudinal
safety clamps measuring from 2 760 mm to
5 800 mm.
Steve Hasselbach, Witbank branch
manager at Eazi Access, says the
demonstration was very successful.
Previously, using conventional means, it
took about 24-48 hours to remove the face
shovel’s cylinders. The conventional way
also called for costly scaffolding, a crane
Eazi Access has introduced the first Magni HTH 30.12 telehandler into its
rental fleet. After several demonstrations across a number of applications,
it has since been deployed at a mine in Mpumalanga, South Africa, to work
in a special application that has seen Magni’s innovative Cylinder Clamp
attachment put to work for the very first time, writes
Munesu Shoko.
INNOVATION
LIFTS IN
A 30 t Magni HTH 30.12 telehandler
equipped with a Cylinder Clamp
attachment is proving to be a time-
saving solution on South African mines.
“At a time when the Cylinder Clamp is not operational, you
can use the telehandler for other applications such as tyre
rotation, conveyor belt handling and general materials
handling duties.”
